A U.S. Coast Guard search and rescue helicopter hovers 25 m about the
water. The crew uses the hoist to pull up the rescue basket with a shipwreck survivor. The combined weight of the basket and survivor is 1330.5 N. How much work does the helicopter hoist do on the basket with the survivor?
33,263 J is the answer, but I don't know how to do it, please help :)

Work is the product of Force and the Distance over which that force was applied.
W = F D
W = (1330.5 N) (25 m)
W = 33,262.5 J
Note that one Joule is equal to one Newton-Meter
